Elena Rueda is the CEO and Co-Founder of Dama Health. 900 million people around the world use contraception , yet 80% of women report experiencing side effects that decrease their quality of life, and on average women try 4 different contraceptive methods before finding the right fit! Pretty shocking right! Elena explains why the lack of data and research in this field combined with pressures on the NHS, results in a v ery poor patient experience and can lead to serious side effects in women including depression, blood clots and heavy bleeding. Dama Health are fixing this broken system by applying personalised and precision medicine to contraceptive health . Their screening test identifies patient biomarkers and personal preferences, to enable better decision making between patient and clinician. They are also conduct genetic research studies to better understand how different genes react to different contraceptive methods.
